- Suppose Egypt wants to open its trade borders tothe world market for natural gas. What will determine whether Egypt becomes a net-exporter ornet-importer of natural gas? If Egypt becomes anet-exporter, will domestic supply be equal to, lessthan, or greater than domestic demand?Question 2: Suppose Qd= 100- 10P Qs = 10P a. Draw a graph using the supply and demand equation assuming no trade. Calculateequilibrium P, Q, consumer, producer and total surplus. b. Draw another graph assuming that trade is allowed. Calculate quantity domesticallyconsumed, domestically produced, imports, consumer surplus, producer surplus assumingworld price =$3. c. What happens to consumer surplus and producer surplus after trade? Does total surplusincrease or decrease after trade? Show your calculations. i need the the diagramhome cheese alc=1hr/kg wine alw=2hrs/gallon foreign cheese alc*=6hrs/kg wine alw*=3hrs/gallon Calculate the Home country's opportunity cost of producing cheese. In which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has an absolute advantage? Show in which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has comparative advantage? Calculate the relative supply (RS) With trade, what is the equilibrium range that the relative price of cheese to wine will settle? Supposing that the intersection of RS and RD occurs at PC /PW = 1, what is the implication?
- 1. Describe what T’Challa thinks Wakanda’s relationship with the outside world should be. DescAssume that Home and Foreign produce only two goods – Cars and Tvs. Home has 400 units of labour available. In Home, the unit labour requirement in car production is 40 and in TV production it is 20. On the other hand, Foreign has 450 units of labour available. Foreign’s unit labour requirement in car production is 75, while in TV production it is 15. i. Suppose that the number of workers increases from 400 to 800 in Home. Find the new equilibrium relative price. What can you say about the efficiency of world production and the gains from trade between Home and Foreign in this case? j. Suppose that Home has now 800 workers, but they are only half as productive in both industries as we have been assuming. Consider Foreign to have the initial 450 workers only and the same productivity in both industries. Construct the world relative supply curve and determine the equilibrium relative price. How do the gains from trade compare with those in the case described in problem h.Explain in what the meaning of the effective rate of protection is. Is it possible for the effective rate of protection to be negative or positive? What does it mean if it is negative or positive? b) Suppose that in the production of car mirrors, the home is the import-competing industry in the country. And let's assume for simplicity that a single imported input is used to produce car mirrors, and this is black paint. Transportation expenses etc. are zero. In the first case, the unit price of the car mirror is 50 units, and 10 units of that are paid for black paint. Suppose the government imposes a 50% tariff on imports of car mirrors. What is the effective rate of protection of this 50% tariff application provided to the manufacturers of the import-competing car mirror industry?
- 3. In the Ricardian model of trade, which of the following statements is false?A. The consumption possibilities frontier is the same as the production possibilities frontierin autarkyB. Two countries will trade so long as they each have comparative advantageC. The introduction of trade leaves the production possibilities frontier unchangedD. Trade may not lead to complete specializationSuppose the U.S. imposes a trade embargo onNorth Korea in order to exert political pressureon the government. Consider how the embargowill affect U.S. producers. Under what conditionswould they support the embargo? Why mightthey oppose it?Consider two countries, home and foreign and a single good, Y. Assume that home country imports good Y from foreign country. The import demand curve for good Y in home country is given by: MD = 170 – 2PY and the export supply curve for good Y in Foreign country is given by: EX = PY – 40. A) Consider the use of import tariff vs. import quota in Home country that will result in the same amount of good Y imports and the domestic price of good Y. If quota rents are given to Foreign country, which policy, i.e., import tariff vs. import quota, is preferable by Home country on the basis of its effect on social welfare? Explain your reasoning.
